Profile:
Hugh Bromley-Davenport's cricketing abilities drew attention
whilst at Eton when he was described as the best Public school bowler of
1887. Following the well-worn path from Eton to Cambridge, he took 5/11
in his second University match, and later appeared for his native
Cheshire. He subsequently appeared in first-class cricket for
Middlesex but never played with any regularity. He bowled fast
left-arm, and made useful runs in the tail. He toured the West
Indies in 1894-5 and
1897, and then made his Test debut in South Africa in 1895-96.
Opening the bowling with Lohmann, he took two wickets in the
first-innings, and one in the second, with his partner taking a
remarkable 8 for 7 to overshadow him. He didn't take a wicket in
the second Test, but made a fine 84 batting at number nine. He
played one more Test on this tour, but had to wait a further
three years for his next, and final Test when he toured South
Africa again. He made 4 and 0, and was not asked to bowl.
He served in the Royal Engineers in the First World War (he was
44 when it started), earning the OBE for his services (DL 2000).
